Answer:

Actual rational zeros of f(x) are x=-5, x=-3, and x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x)=x^3+7x^2+7x-15.

constant term = p = -15

coefficient of leading term q= 1

then possible rational roots of given function f(x) are the divisors of \pm \frac{p}{q}=\pm 1, \quad \pm 3, \quad \pm 5, \quad \pm 15

Now we can plug those possible roots into given function to see which one of them gives output 0.

test for x=1

f(x)=x^3+7x^2+7x-15

f(1)=1^3+7(1)^2+7(1)-15

f(1)=1+7+7-15

f(1)=0

Hence x=1 is the actual rational zero.

Similarly testing other roots, we get final answer as:

Actual rational zeros of f(x) are x=-5, x=-3, and x=1.

Answer:

1,-3,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)=x^3+7x^2+7x-15

Finding all the possible rational zeros of f(x)

p= ±1,±3,±5,±15 (factors of coefficient of last term)

q=±1(factors of coefficient of leading term)

p/q=±1,±3,±5,±15

Now finding the rational zeros using rational root theorem

f(p/q)

f(1)=1+7+7-15

   =0

f(-1)= -1 +7-7-15

     = -16

f(3)=27+7(9)+21-15

    =96

f(-3)= (-3)^3+7(-3)^2+7(-3)-15

     = 0

f(5)=5^3+7(5)^2+7(5)-15

    =320

f(-5)=(-5)^3+7(-5)^2+7(-5)-15

      =0    

f(15)=(15)^3+7(15)^2+7(15)-15

     =5040

f(-15)=(-15)^3+7(-15)^2+7(-15)-15

      =-1920

Hence the rational roots are 1,-3,-5 !

ipn [44]

we know that

A <u>geometric sequence</u> is a sequence of numbers in which the ratio between consecutive terms is constant

so

Let

a1=24 \ a2=24.48\ a3=24.97\ a4=25.47

\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{24.48}{24}= 1.02

a2=a1*1.02

\frac{a3}{a2} = \frac{24.97}{24.48}= 1.02

a3=a2*1.02

\frac{a4}{a3} = \frac{25.47}{24.97}= 1.02

a4=a3*1.02

therefore

The common ratio is equal to 1.02

<u>the answer is</u>

The common ratio is 1.02

Sin155° = _____ sin25° sin(-25)° -sin25°
patriot [66]

Answer:

sin 25

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(A − B) = sinA cosB − cosA sinB

sin 155

sin( 180 -25)

A = 180  B = 25

sin180 cos25 − cos180 sin25

Sin 180 = 0

cos 180 = -1

0 - (-1) sin 25

sin 25
